Ship smarter agents: Building for production with dbt Agent Skills
đ Global friendly sessions on April 22 & 23
AI agents are moving from demos to production. The teams winning are the ones who've given their agents real capabilities, not just chat interfaces. dbt Agent Skills are how you get there: native and custom skills that let agents reason about, navigate, and act on your data layer.
In this session, our Head of Developer Experience will walk through the Agent Skills that ship with dbt today and how teams can extend them with custom skills built for your specific workflows.
Youâll also hear from Factory, who will share how they built their software development agents, Droids, using dbt and custom skills. Theyâll cover what it takes to move from prototype to production when agents need to work with data they can trust.
You'll walk away understanding why skills are the right foundation for production agents, what you can build with dbt agent skills today, how to extend the ecosystem with your own custom skills and share them with the community, and how to evaluate whether your agent architecture is built to last.
